IPO Application under section 13(1) was filed by Lucasfilm Entertainment Company Ltd to mention Michael Sanders and Kevin Wooley as joint inventors. Colin Davidson and Steve Sullivan were invited to file a counter-statement in relation to the proceedings but failed to do so.

The comptroller also directed that an addendum slip be prepared mentioning Michael Sanders and Kevin Wooley as joint inventors for the published patent application and granted patent for the invention.
